The house was clean and had plenty of space. It was close to the train for a quick ride to downtown. The owners were excellent in their communication and extremely helpful through the stay. Highly recommended.

We loved our stay at this restored fire house! The space feels incredibly spacious and comfortable and everything was clean and welcoming. It was fun to see all the vintage details throughout and there were great books and games for entertainment. The AC worked well and it was great to have a washer and dryer. We enjoyed the little back porch as well and saw some good sunset views. The hosts were very friendly, communicative, and super helpful when we had some changes to our travel plans and other questions.

Amazing property. Probably the favorite VRBO I've stayed in

Absolutely loved the property. It's a few miles out of the downtown area, but it's worth it. It's like staying in a museum of a 19th century firehouse. Everything is in perfect condition and modern yet classic looking. Very well equipped in general. Great communication. Highly recommended

An oasis in Boston!

So much about the Firehouse was awesome. It was quiet, even though it was in a busy neighborhood. The garden and parking spot behind the building were incredible, so we didn't have to worry about street parking. The owners, who live next door, were super friendly and let us in to the apartment. We didn't hear much noise at night and could sleep very well. So much history and so unique! The central A/C also worked very well even though it was north of 100 degrees outside!
